All right friends, it's time for your daily true crime rundown. Grab your coffee, settle in, and let's talk about the cases everyone going to be discussing today. And we're starting with the biggest one. Two days before Thanksgiving, a man wiped out his own brother's entire family. And now a New Jersey judge made sure he'll die behind bars. This is crime house24.7, your non stop source for the biggest crime cases developing right now. Make sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Vanessa Richardson and we have quite a lineup for you today. Here's what you need to know. Lately I've been trying to take the stress out of getting dressed. Just focusing on pieces that feel easy, comfortable and still put together without a lot of effort. That's really what's been pulling me toward quints. Their stuff just fits that effortless everyday vibe. I love their fabrics, linens, cottons, cashmere. They're all the highest quality and they feel so good. Their design is also simple in the best way. Clean silhouettes, neutral tones, and pieces that don't require a ton of styling to feel finished. I've been reaching for their staples a lot because they make it easy to get out the door quickly while still feeling like everything's intentional. And the fit tends to feel really natural, like the clothes are made to actually be lived in. I grabbed a few things thinking they'd be just basic fill ins, but they've ended up becoming some of the most worn pieces in my rotation. Refresh your everyday with luxury you'll actually use.

We have two stories for you today, one closing and one just beginning to crack open. We're starting in Freehold, New Jersey, where a sentencing wrapped up that has been nearly seven and a half years in the making. 59 year old Paul Canero has been sentenced to four consecutive life terms in prison without the possibility of parole for the murders of his younger brother Keith, his brother's wife Jennifer, and their two children, 11 year old Jesse and 8 year old Sophia. The judge called him a, quote, manipulative, cold blooded killer who destroyed every life around him in a ruthless effort to preserve his own. End quote. Under New Jersey law, with four life sentences running consecutively, there is no path to release Paul Keno will die in prison. To understand how we got to this courtroom, we have to go back to November 2018, specifically the morning of November 20th. Paul and Keith Canero were not only brothers, they were business partners. The two men co owned two companies together out of Asbury Park, New Jersey. By all accounts, that professional relationship obviously had been unraveling. Prosecutors argued at trial that the day before the murders, Keith had confronted Paul directly about missing money funds that prosecutors said Paul had misappropriated from their shared business accounts. That confrontation, they argued, was the trigger. Paul Canero, they said, had a clear financial motive to want his brother dead. With Keith gone, there was no one left to hold him accountable. The morning of November 20 started with carnage at the Canero family's home in Colts Neck, New Jersey, a mansion in Monmouth County. Keith Canero, 50 years old, was found shot to death outside his own front door. He'd been shot at least five times, including a contact gunshot wound to the head, which means the barrel of the gun was pressed directly against him when it fired. Investigators believe Jennifer was killed next. She was shot in the head and then stabbed inside the home. The children were targeted after that. Jesse and Sophia had been stabbed. And what made this case almost unbearable from the very beginning was this detail. Investigators determined that Jesse, 11, and Sophia, 8, were still alive when fire was set inside that home around them. After setting the Canero family mansion in Colts Neck on fire, Paul Keniro then drove to his own home in Ocean Township, New Jersey and set that house on fire as well. Prosecutors argued this was a calculated attempt to cast himself as a second victim, to make it appear that someone had targeted both brothers simultaneously. It also, they argued, reflected just how methodical the whole plan was. Paul did not flee. He went home, started another fire and waited. If that was the plan, it fell apart fast within hours of the fires Investigators had shifted their investigation directly onto Paul Kenyero. He was arrested and charged with four counts of first degree murder, and also charged with two counts of aggravated arson, possession of a firearm for an unlawful purpose, possession of a knife for an unlawful purpose, theft, misapplication of entrusted property, and hindering his own apprehension. From the moment of his arrest through the entirety of his trial, which in January 2026, Paul Canero maintained his innocence. His defense team, led by attorney Monica Mastone, made two central arguments. First, that investigators had zeroed in on Paul too early and failed to follow other investigative leads, and second, that another one of the brothers, Corey Keno, should have been examined more closely as a suspect. Corey, they argued, also stood to benefit from a $3 million life insurance policy that Keith had held. Prosecutors pushed back hard on both points. Present Judge Mark Lemieux would later describe from the bench as, quote, an avalanche of evidence pointing to Paul as the killer and making clear there was no evidence of any kind implicating Corey. The jury, after hearing weeks of testimony, reached a guilty verdict. In February 2026, after just a few hours of deliberation. After conviction, Paul Keno's defense team filed a motion for a new trial, arguing that the judge's conduct during proceedings had been improper and had influenced the jury. That motion was denied. Yesterday's sentencing hearing was the final chapter, and it was not a quiet one. The victim's family members spoke first, and their statements were as searing as anything said during the trial itself. Bonnie Carides addressed the courtroom directly. She said that an entire branch of their family had been erased two days before Thanksgiving, and that the level of calculation and selfishness required to look two children in the eyes and kill them was, in her words, a level of evil that is not comprehensible. Jennifer's mother told the court that Paul Keno had slaughtered her family, that he had stolen the source of joy and happiness in their lives, and that he represented the very worst of humanity. She said, he disgusts them. Prosecutor Nicole Wallace also used her time at the podium to speak to what Paul Keno's defense had done to Corey Canero throughout the trial. Pointing at an innocent man while four people lay dead. She told the court, Corey lost his brother that day, his sister in law, his niece, and his nephew. And to add insult to injury, the defendant accused Corey of being responsible for these atrocities. Judge Lemieux then went through the murders methodically, describing what had been done to each victim. He told the court that 8 year old Sophia had been stabbed more than 40 times. He spoke directly to Paul Caniero in the courtroom as he walked through the injuries. And you might want to Fast forward about 10 seconds because this is pretty intense. Quote, the defendant stabbed Sophia through her nasal cavity with such violence that it fractured her sinus and penetrated her brain. Another stab wound pierced her chest cavity and collapsed her lung. That's what you did, end quote. He described the 45 pound girl as someone who fought for her life against a 200 pound grown man wielding a knife and said the terror she experienced cannot be understated. Who? On the question of how to characterize what happened that morning in Colts Neck, the judge was direct. He told the court, quote, it's not a tragedy. It's a flat out killing of innocent people. Tragedy is a much different word, end quote. Through all of it, Paul Caniero stood without visible reaction. He did not address the court. Attorney Mastalone told the judge on his behalf, quote, he maintains his innocence and has nothing further to add at this time, end quote. The defense had asked that the four life sentences run concurrently rather than consecutively, meaning at the same time which would, at least theoretically have preserved some future possibility of review. Judge Lemieux rejected that request entirely and imposed four consecutive life terms to be followed by an additional 18 years for the arson and related charges. His final words from the bench, quote, his address will forever be the Department of Corrections. His only reality is confinement, consequence and accountability. End quote. Paul Canero will spend every remaining day of his life in a New Jersey state prison. From a New Jersey courtroom where a case that began in November 2018 finally reached its end. We are now crossing the Atlantic to Spain, where a death that was initially closed as a hiking accident has quietly been built, building toward an arrest for well over a year. A billionaire fashion mogul is dead. His son was the only witness. And yesterday morning, that son was taken into custody on suspicion of murder.

If you've spent any time in a European city or in a mall or airport almost anywhere in the world, you've probably walked past a Mango store. The brand has nearly 2,900 locations in 120 countries, making it one of the most recognized fashion retailers on the planet. The man who built that empire from nothing was named Isaac andik, and on May 19, his 45 year old son Jonathan Andick was arrested in Barcelona, Spain on suspicion of killing him. Isaac Andik was born in Istanbul in 1953 into a Sephardic Jewish family. When he was around 14 years old, the family relocated to Catalonia in northeastern Spain. He was still a teenager when he started selling clothes and shoes at street markets. He was relentless about it, opening fashion shops, expanding his footprint, building towards something bigger. In 1984, he opened the first Mango store in Barcelona alongside his brother Nachman. Over the following four decades, Mango grew into one of Europe's most prominent fast fashion brands, competing with fellow Spanish giants like Zara and eventually expanding to markets on every continent. At the time of his death, Forbes estimated Isaac Andik's net worth at approximately $4.5 billion, making him the wealthiest person in Catalonia and one of the richest in all of Spain. The company he built employed more than 14,000 people worldwide and was still growing, posting that record revenue of nearly 3.8 billion euros in 2025, an 11% jump from the year before. Isaac Andick had three children. His eldest son, Jonathan and two daughters, Judith and Sarah. Jonathan, now 45, had been given real authority within the company during his father's lifetime, serving as vice chairman of Mango's board of directors. After Isaac's death, Jonathan, Judith and Sarah came to control 95% of the company in equal shares. Here's what the investigation says happened in December 2024, 71 year old Isaac Andik went hiking with his so Jonathan in the Montserrat mountain range outside of Barcelona. They were walking a trail connecting the Salnitter Caves in the municipality of Colbato with the Montserrat monastery, a trail that investigators have since described as not particularly dangerous. At some point during that hike, Isak andick fell approximately 150 meters, about 500ft off a cliff. The fall was fatal. He died at the scene. Jonathan Andick was the only witness he Jonathan's account was that the two of them had been making their way back along the trail when he heard rocks falling behind him. He turned around and saw his father go over the edge. He described it as a sudden, terrible accident, something that happened in seconds. Without warning, Spanish police opened an investigation. A few weeks later, they closed it, ruling the death an accident. That closing mattered. It meant Jonathan Andick walked away from December 2024 not as a suspect, but as a grieving son just watched his father die. He was vice chairman of one of Spain's most iconic companies and the case against him at that point did not exist. It didn't stay that way. In March 2025, investigators reopened the case. They cited what they described as contradictions and gray areas in Jonathan's two accounts of the incident, accounts that did not entirely align with each other or with the physical evidence. Among the specific discrepancies that investigators identified, Jonathan had provided an incorrect LOC for where his vehicle had been parked that day, and he told investigators he had not taken any photographs at or near the site. Investigators later found that he had in fact photographed the area. There was also important testimony from a key witness. Estefania Canadas, a professional golfer who'd been Isak Andik's partner in the years before his death, told investigators that the relationship between Isak and Jonathan had been estranged. More significantly, she said, that Isak had made a decision before his death death to transfer 5% of his shares in Mango, along with the majority of his authority over the company, not to a family member but to a senior executive. If accurate, that detail matters. It suggests that Jonathan stood to lose a meaningful portion of his expected inheritance and his influence over the empire his father built if Isaac had followed through on that plan. Multiple Spanish media outlets also reported that Jonathan and Isak had been involved in a serious argument in the period shortly before Isak death, though specifics have not been confirmed by authorities due to the court's non disclosure order on the case. In October 2025, Catalan Regional Police officially confirmed for the first time that the death was being investigated as a possible homicide. The investigation continued through the fall and into 2026 and then yesterday morning, Tuesday, May 19, 2026, roughly a year and a half after Isaac Andik died At the bottom of that cliff, police from the Mosus de Squadra, the Cat Police, arrested Jonathan Andick in Barcelona. He was escorted to court facilities in the city of Marel in eastern Spain, where the case is being handled. Photographers captured him being walked out by authorities. A spokesperson for the Most de Squadra confirmed the arrest and noted that the case remains subject to a court ordered gag, meaning the specific evidence that led investigators to make today's arrest has not been made public. Jonathan Andick has denied any involvement in his father's death from the very beginning. A family spokesperson previously issued a statement on behalf of the Andick family saying, quote, the Andick family has made no comment in recent months regarding the death of Isak Andic and will not do so in the future. However, it wishes to express its respect for the proceedings undertaken in this matter and will continue cooperating with the competent authorities as it has done until now. It is also confident that this process will conclude as soon as possible and that Jonathan Andick's innocence will be proven. End quote Jonathan Andick is expected to appear before a judge in Marell. As of this recording, Jonathan Andick has not been convicted of any crime and is presumed innocent. What is not in dispute is that Isak Andick spent his life building something from almost nothing. A street market stall in his teens, a single Barcelona storefront in 1984, and eventually one of the most recognizable regions retail brands on the planet. The investigation into how he died is still very much open and we'll follow it as more information becomes available.

Okay, before I let you go, you know we can't end without giving you a little something extra over on Clues. Today, Morgan and Kaylin are diving into Egypt Covington the wrong house. Killing on the night of June 22, 2017, 27 year old Egypt Covington went to yoga, texted her boyfriend good night and went to bed. The next evening he found her on the floor of her living room, tied up with Christmas lights, killed by a single gunshot wound to the head. It was the middle of June. No forced entry, no robbery, no obvious motive. For three years, local police chased the wrong leads and publicly named an innocent man as a person of interest. All while sitting on a geofence warrant that had the answer from the start. It took Egypt's family, a 14,000 signature petition and a transfer to the Michigan State Police to finally get the truth. Morgan and Kaylin trace every Clue. From the Christmas lights to the bright blue truck caught on a gas station camera to the DNA match that finally put names to a senseless crime, we grabbed a clip from today's episode. Take a listen and if you like what you hear, don't forget to follow clues.

All right. This case starts on the night of June 22, 2017. That night, 27 year old Egypt Covington and her friend Lindsay went to a yoga class and they were thinking about hanging out afterwards. But after it ended, Lindsay said she was tired. So Egypt also went home and she planned on settling in for a low key night. She was texting with her siblings a bit and then she sent a message to her boyfriend Curtis before she went to bed at around 10pm they exchanged a couple of goodnight texts and that was it. The next morning on June 23, Curtis started his day like he always did with a good morning text to his girlfriend Egypt. And she always replied back within 30 minutes max. So when she didn't answer him that morning, he found that a little strange. And things only got more concerning as the day went on. He called and he texted Egypt a bunch more times throughout the day, but she never picked up. He hoped that maybe she had gone to work and maybe just. Just didn't bring her phone with her, left it at home. Maybe it got lost or it was broken. So Curtis was a little concerned. But alarm bells weren't going off just yet. He had Father's day dinner planned with his daughter so he didn't want to cancel on her. But after dinner, with still no word from Egypt, he went to her place just to check up on her. It was about 7:15pm when he got over there and he saw Egypt's car sitting in her driveway. And that is when he knew that something was wrong. When he opened the duplex door, there was a shared hallway between her and her neighbor and the door on the left, which was Egypt's door, was open. Curtis stepped inside and he yelled for Egypt, but she didn't answer. Instead her dog Ruby came running up to him and she wasn't acting like her usual self. She was normally really excited to see Curtis, but today there were no kisses, no wagging tail veil. Ruby instead led Curtis further into the house, almost like she wanted to show him something. And it was there in the living room that Curtis found an absolutely heartbreaking sight. Egypt was lying on the floor in the fetal position. Her hands had been tied up with Christmas lights and there was blood on her head and pooled all around her. Curtis immediately ran out of the house and dialed 91 1. Before we get into how this investigation unfolded, let's rewind a little bit, because in order to understand the complicated nature of Egypt's case, you have to understand Egypt and her relationships. One of the first things that people say about Egypt was that she was a very talented musician. Ever since she was a kid, Egypt knew it was a path that she wanted to pursue. And the only thing that made her happier than music was her family. And Egypt had a very big family. She was born on July 19, 1989, to Chuck Covington and Tina Covington. The couple ended up divorcing when Egypt was just a kid, but that just ended up expanding her family. Family. She had six siblings, a mix of full half and step, all whom she loved, and they all got along so well. Her dad, Chuck, and her stepmom, Kristen, raised Egypt in Belleville, which was a small town in Michigan between Detroit and Ann Arbor. As Egypt and her siblings grew up, some of them moved across the country, but not Egypt. She stayed put. She wanted to stay close to her parents, and eventually she rented a duplex in Belleville. And maybe because Egypt had spent her entire life in Belleville, will, she kind of became the unofficial mayor. That's what people said about her. She was this huge extrovert. She had a really big circle of friends. And her sister Beth said it was impossible to go anywhere in town without Egypt running into someone she knew. But it made sense. Egypt was one of those people that was just so instantly likable. She had this really infectious laugh. It made everyone else around her laugh, too. Plus, her stepmom, Kristen, said that she was kind and she was authentic. She never gossiped. She never really had anything bad to say about anyone. And her father, Chuck, said that she was a calming presence. If there was ever a disagreement or an argument near Egypt, she would figure out a way to solve the issue. And these were all qualities that came in handy when Egypt eventually found work as a bartender. Her brother Dwayne worked at a local pub, and he got Egypt a job there. Duane said that they had tons of regulars, but claimed that they came quite, quote, mostly to see her because she was like a shining light. But bartending was just a temporary way for Egypt to make money. She never stopped pursuing her passion for music and really wanted to make a career out of it. One day in 2014, when she was 24 years old, she won a local singing contest called Country Idol, and that actually inspired her to audition for the Voice. And from there, she started recording and Posting more of her songs online. But Egypt also had realistic expectations about this career that she wanted for herself. She knew how hard it was to break through. And so because of that, she developed sort of a backup plan. In 2016, 26 year old Egypt got a job as an account manager for a beer and wine distribution company. And it was around this time that she got serious with Curtis Meadows. The two had been on and off for years. They had opposite work schedules and lifestyles that kind of kept them apart. Apart especially because Curtis had a daughter from another relationship. But with her new job, they would be finally spending a lot more time together. So by 2017, it seemed like everything was falling into place. Curtis was planning on moving in with Egypt when his lease ended in July. She had had roommates at her duplex before, but at that time, she was living solo. Her only current roommate was her pug chihuahua mix named Ruby, who she was obsessed with. And plus, Egypt was moving up in her career. She was thriving in her account manager job. So she could finally afford to live alone, at least for this moment. And somehow, amongst her jobs, her passions, her relationships, Egypt still made time for other hobbies, too. She hunted and played golf. She sang at local bars and restaurants, and she had recently gotten into yoga. She had everything ahead of her. That is, until her life was tragically cut Short.
H
Short.
B
So June 23, 2017. Police from the Van Buren Township were on the scene in minutes. And they immediately started analyzing our first clue, the crime scene. It seemed clear that Egypt had been killed by a gunshot wound to her head. There was a pillow next to her that they thought was used as a makeshift silencer, but there was no gun anywhere nearby. And then there were the Christmas lights that had been used to tie her up.
H
Up.
B
This was especially strange to investigators because it wasn't anywhere near the holidays. I mean, this is the middle of June. So they were hoping that this could be a big deal, they could get some kind of evidence from these lights, maybe some DNA pulled from them. So they sent them off immediately for testing. Meanwhile, other detectives were speaking to Curtis, who was understandably distraught. And we're going to play a clip of his 911 call for you guys here.
H
Showed up at my girlfriend's house. We're at 455 7, I think it was Bemis. And I walked inside. She was there, tied up. She died. This blood runner had just fine. She said. You said 4 5, 5, 76 BEIS 6. Yes, yes. By the signal. Gas station. And you're sure she's dead? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, she tied up his. Okay, don't, don't. Okay, hold on now. The doctor door would crack open.
B
I mean, he is just beside himself. And when you watch interviews of Curtis talking about this, he's like, I don't even remember this. Like, I blacked it out. But he does tell investigators that he had found Egypt's door open when he arrived. They didn't find any signs of robbery. To the police, this kind of meant that Egypt must have known her attacker enough to let them in. And because of this, they thought that her murder was personal. A few days later, the results of Egypt's autopsy confirmed that her cause of death was in fact, that gunshot wound. But there were no other reports of pre or post mortem trauma. There were no signs of sa. Unfortunately, the tests on those Christmas lights were also kind of a bust. Police were able to get three different profiles from the lights. One was from Egypt, while the other two were unknown. But there wasn't actually enough material to run those unknown profiles through any of the databases. And we've talked about this quite a bit with codis, where you need to have a pretty substantial amount of material to even submit to codis.
I
Yeah.
B
So police have kind of nothing else to go on except looking at those closest to Egypt. And first up was her boyfriend. I mean, he was the one that had a key to her place. He found her.
H
Her.
B
So they start looking at Curtis Meadows, and they quickly learn that their relationship had its own share of problems.
